Historical Record
By 2296 the Wasteland finds its voice. Broadcast towers buzz with new dramas, interviews, and arguments that cross regions faster than caravans. Personal histories become public art; settlements use radio to recruit, teach, and celebrate. The medium turns survival stories into shared culture, and shared culture into a reason to keep going.
The year is significant because it marks a cultural consolidation after decades of triage. People who once spoke only in warnings begin to speak in jokes, recipes, and love songs again. The airwaves do not erase danger, but they make room for joy—and that, historians note, is how a civilization announces it is alive.
